If
you are travelling to London on holiday or business and are a fan of
Sherlock Holmes, try to find time to visit some of the places mentioned
in the stories.

Luckily for us a book illustrated with photographs, entitled "The
Queens London,"
was published by Cassell and Company in 1897 to celebrate the
diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. It gives a contemporary view of many
London landmarks, so we are able to see them as they appeared at the time Sherlock Holmes and Dr
Watson were solving their cases.

Although some of the buildings have gone many can still be seen today.
